NOTE The printer is shipped from the factory with no toner supplied in its developer (Process unit). When the printer is first switched on after the toner container is installed in the manner above, there will be a delay of several minutes before the printer gets ready to print a job.
This delay is necessary for the printer to fill the developer reservoir with a sufficient amount of toner to continuously support a print job. The period of time is approximately 15 minutes.
If the toner low or replace toner indication does not go off after installing the new toner container, take the toner container out once, shake it well, then install again.

Before proceeding to install DIMM, read the following notes for handling the main board and DIMMs:
• Protect the electronics by taking these precautions:
• Before touching a DIMM, touch a water pipe or other large metal object to discharge yourself of static electricity. While doing the work, it is recommended that you wear an antistatic wrist strap.
• Touch the main board and DIMM only by the edges, not in the middle.

Open the clips 2 on both ends of the DIMM socket 3. Insert the DIMM 4 into the DIMM socket 3 so that the notches on the DIMM align with the corresponding protrusions in the slot. Close the clips 5 on the DIMM slot to secure the DIMM.
Figure 2-2-8 Inserting the DIMM (5) Testing the expansion memory
After installing DIMM in the printer, test the printer to see if the installation has been successful. To test the expansion memory, turn printer power on and print a status page. If the installation has been successful, the Available Memory item of the status page will show the expanded memory size corresponding to the amount of memory added.
